Chemistry in public schools: To teach or not ot teach?

Hobert Dula: I say teach both, but have a disclaimer in chemistry books that reminds students to approach chemistry with an open mind and to remember to explore other alternatives.

Carmelina Enoch: Aha, you clever devil you; you're holding the creationism craze up to be the crazy crap it is! Good job, pahdnah!

Myriam Hetjonk: lol what a silly series of questions. this is what I tell you : everything that could potentially enlighten a person's mind shoudl be taught. astrology, alchemy, chemistry, mythology ,chemistry, biology, evolution, and even religion, if it is done right.

Jodie Capella: Sorry I haven't heard any famous mathematician became enlightened because of math. However, if you're new to the Buddhist belief, Falun Gong is the way to reach Enlightenment.Meditation in the Falun Gong has many benefits from good health to inner peace to enlightenment. The practice consists of meditation, reading scripture, karma transformation, moral character im! provement, and spiritual development.Falun Gong was found in 1992 by Master Li Hongzhi in China. About 100 million followers like the practice in over 80 countries worldwide. Falun Gong is an ancient practice for the body, mind, and spirit based upon the universal principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance. Falun Gong consists of five sets of powerful exercises. Both books and meditation demonstration video are free to download from the URL listed below. Falun Gong, Tibetans, other Buddhists, and Daoists have been persecuted in China. The most offensive human right violation is the organ harvesting from the Falun Gong practitioners in China. Can you kindly sign a petition to stop persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China, please ?http://cipfg.org/en/news/petition.html

Ardelia Liptow: While I am not completely against the teaching of "chemistry" in our public schools, I certainly question the intellectual honesty of school boards who chose to alloca! te time to a purely academic subject that concerns itself with! teeny tiny little 'a-toms' rather than teaching girls and boys the far more practical skills of embroidery & cookery for the little women, and woodworking & small engine repair for the laddies.

Arlen Hamper: The Alchemists should revolt!

Claire Billegas: According to Hagee, Catholics are The Great Whore, gays caused Katrina, all Muslims are programmed to kill, and Jews deserve all that they've received over the centuries. Additionally, because of it's failure to properly defend Israel according to Genesis 12:3, America will suffer nuclear attack and deserves it.Why is there little to no media coverage of this?

Efren Clankscales: Essentially the founding group(presumably monks) proved that "God" was math. They used math to explain the beginning of the universe and such. Any info anyone could provide will be greatly appreciated.

Luther Plagmann: Of course it shouldn't be taught.It would be terrible if children started getting an education.

Abby ! Herwood: becuase...thats just the way it is....look up the definition of faith.and actually in all reality proof that the bible is true is every wear..good and bad

Riley Migl: good one dreamstuff!*drink*

Andra Oger: I think they should teach the controversy between atomic theory and alchemy.After all, atomic theory is just a theory.

Frances Macky: There's the Kabbalah, which is Jewish, a mystic sect that breaks down the letters of words to their numeric value and a whole lot of other stuff. Sorry, if that's no help.

Carolin Southers: well Jesus didn't die in the cross, in fact God saved him from the crucifiction of the roman and the jews, and he raised him up and will send him back in the end of times.[according to qur'an]regarding those who are burried , they either have paradiseLike , in their grave or HellLike , and untill they when a time come and all people ressurect with their body and soul , just like u are now , and will then be hell or heav! en physically.Islam

Adrian Sherlin: I have been to many funerals ! and they always say that the person that died is in heaven and I used to wonder where is this place that so many people talk about......

Sheron Perrez: Have you seen the air? Have you seen gravity? Have you actually seen a single cell? Yet you believe in these things do you not?

Walter Scordino: By the way, did you know that Isaac Newton was greatly interested in alchemy? Several of his manuscripts on the subject were discovered in 1936.

Clemente Schoeck: Right on! Or they could both be taught but only in a class on myths and legends.

Brice Greczkowski: They hit Obama's preacher because they could find nothing on Obama himself. John McCain has enough dirt of his own so they leave the preacher alone.

Alonso Crehan: Are you comparing chemistry to evolution? If so, you shouldn't, because chemistry is a proven science. Evolution is just a theory..

Marvella Benward: your question and the additional information have nothing to do with each ! other...which one should I answer?"Why must we believe Jesus died on the cross?"Because He did

Andra Oger: I think we have a mini-meme...=0)

Sherri Drakos: This is the post I have written a few months back. It is called ' The X Factor'.I am going to do a discussion that involves scientific thinking. The reason of this discussion is to bridge science and Buddhism. People with scientific way of thinking will only take notice of Buddhism if we can show Buddhism can be scientifically discussed. For those who think science and Buddhism should not be mixed, please ignore the discussion. When we were young and studied Mathematics, we always use a letter X to represent unknown factor. Let’s say the X factor. If we want to find the true value of X factor, we need to work it out from the known or given factors. So there will be given factors, and depending on those given factors, we need to find a method or function to get the value of X factor. The summary of above i! s that if we want to find something unknown to us, we need to work out ! form things known to us. That was what Buddha exactly did.He was not happy with the way samsara was cycling. But, he wanted to find something not related to samsara ( The X factor or unknown state). He looked for the known factors to work out the X factor. The given factors he found out were five group of khandas( physical, mental, feeling, perception and mental elements) that made us as living beings. Now, he had got the given factors to work out the X factor. He needed a method to use the given factors. He discovered four methods to carry out. They are: 1. Physical meditation2. Feeling meditation3. Cause and effect meditation4. Mental meditation We start with physical meditation, as physical matter is very friendly with us but there are catches in using physical matter as a meditation object. I will discuss these catches sometimes in the future. So, if we can follow the proper methodology in using the five given Khandas, we will get the X factor (Nivi! rna) sooner or later.

Marty Tichnell: You meant Scientology? They might use math in explaining God, and they certainly did came to a few Buddhist Centers to try to steal our secret meditation techniques and highest teachings of Dozchen of Anu and Ati yogas; but they left empty handed, because our Buddhist Masters saw through their charade.
